The most beautiful work by an astronomer

Posted by chrislintott in Uncategorized

Did you know that composer Camille Saint Saens was an astronomer? Neither did I until I heard Steven Isserlis talking about him before a fantastic performance of the 1st cello concerto at the Proms this week. You can listen again to the concert here, but only until Saturday.
